“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Jim would attempt to bring one of the friends with him Friday. [...]

[...] Both Jim and Bill thought the other one, of the girl and dog, quite gruesome. [...]

[...] It was the first session with more than one witness. [...]

[...] While I am certainly not one given to humility, nevertheless your smugness is truly astronomical.

(On Saturday January 8 Jane and I received a letter from Dr. Instream, asking that Seth do his best to give data on but one object during tests. Dr. Instream also mentioned his difficulty in attempting to repeat an experiment with ESP cards, involving odds of a million-and-a-half to one. [...]

[...] Now as you know, that was never one definite unchanging object. [...]

[...] It may be a long one.

[...] (A one-minute pause.)

(Now one of my close friends—I cannot recall his name, if I ever knew it—was due to ski down one of the trails. [...]

[...] You projected once into the past, and I was one of your friends. [...] One episode involved a small future projection, and was intermixed with ordinary dream elements. [...]

[...] He is in one room and I am in a hallway. [...]

[...] One of the most unusual dreams I have ever had. [...]

[...] Some connection with a porch here (I don’t know if Jerry has one); ground floor—some room off a porch, or off the driveway she thinks he should sleep in (tore front porch off this house—enclosed as sun porch. [...]

This room seems to be less closed in than the one planned… and will make him feel less trapped. [...]

[...] At one time it had a white collar that could be detached. [...]

[...] A gold one. [...]

[...] Also included is one excerpt by Seth about Jane’s talents with a similar kind of experience.

[...] He was the one I described in The God of Jane who felt himself to be a woman trapped in a man’s body. [...]

[...] One letter in particular caught my eyes because it was from an old friend, Ed, the man who had introduced Rob and I to begin with; a man who we had lost touch with until two years ago when he’d suddenly written from Alaska.

[...] Larry drinks only milk (at one time).

[...] Others would want much more excitement, much more zest, and order then instead a less grand vessel, but one that went faster. [...] The analogy may be a simple one, yet each person chooses the living vessel of the body, with his or her own intents and purposes in mind.

[...] The men have low sperm counts and may not be able to sire children in the normal manner, yet Jane and I think that this rare group event—the only one of its kind on record—fits in with Seth’s material about the millions of variations contained within our species’ vast genetic pool. [...]

[...] What you think of then as the average intelligence is a condition that exists because of the activity of constant variables, minute variations that give you at one end of the scale the idiot, and at the other the genius.

[...] I have said before that in one way or another each living cell is united with each other living cell through a system of inner communication. [...]

My environment, as I mentioned earlier, is not one of a personality recently dead in your terms, but later I will describe what you can expect under those conditions. One large difference between your environment and mine is that you must physically materialize mental acts as physical matter. [...]

Perhaps it is better to say that physical reality is one form that reality takes. In your system, however, you are focused much more intensely upon one relatively small aspect of experience.

[...] In one way, I translate what I am into an event that you can understand to some extent. [...]

(10:17.) When I contact your reality, therefore, it is as if I were entering one of your dreams. [...]

[...] One purpose was met, then, when you married Ruburt. Your desire to paint, per se, did not emerge full blown when you were a young man, and one probable self is happily engaged in commercial artwork. [...]

I am telling you this as simply as possible, knowing that one day I will get through. [...] They attract others until the present seems filled with them, while other imagined ones rush toward you from the future. [...]

[...] Looking at your parents, you decided early that you would have a certain kind of relationship with a woman—a closeness that your father did not have with your mother—one that involved many facets of your own personality and with its purposes. [...]

You could have followed still another course—one in which you did not become involved in any intellectual or challenging concepts but bypassed them completely. [...]

[...] I mentioned earlier that in one probability system you were a doctor who painted as a hobby. His name is P I E T R A. (Spelled out.) In psychological time or simply when you are still, close your eyes and imagine your physical universe as one room in our analogy, and his as another with a passageway between. [...]

[...] There are devices within each room that enable a dweller in one room to communicate with those in other rooms. [...]

[...] It is quite possible however when you know how to use one of these passageways and look at yourself and your situation from a different viewpoint, to see it in greater perspective and from outside your particular room—to see it perhaps more clearly in its entirety.

[...] It is easier however if you have the help of one of the guests in another room who is more used to the passageways, someone who has been investigating a while longer.

[...] On other occasions they may rid the individual of one problem in such a way that he only finds a different one.

[...] Also you tossed fears between you like a ball, so that when one was optimistic the other one was down. [...]

[...] One of the primary attitudes, however, had to do with trying “to fight all battles at once” —a good many of them imaginary. [...]

Living each day at a time, you respond to the present, and you need not in one day protect yourself from a lifetime of projected distractions or threats to your time that must, in your day, be imaginary, since they are probable events from the future.

[...] There were several reasons for this, one having to do with the existence of rather giant-sized men in the mountain areas. [...]

Communication, in fact, was one of their strongest points, and it was developed to such a high degree simply because they feared violence so deeply and were constantly on the alert. [...]

Now: Before we discuss the third civilization, there are a few more points I would like to make about the second one.

[...] In one way this was a highly stylized art, and yet it allowed for both great preciseness of expression in terms of detail, and great freedom in terms of scope. [...]

[...] I said before that no one can really give you a definition of the psyche. [...] One of the largest difficulties here is the issue of organization. [...]

[...] He wanted these pages to follow neatly one by one. [...]

[...] For one thing, at any given time you could end the process — and many do. [...]

In your terms again, then, at any one earth time many such patterns exist. [...]

[...] To communicate with them on one level, while at other levels you preferred solitude, painting and writing; and you always observed. [...]

Simple-enough incidents, like shoveling the driveway, can bother you because they arouse old conflicts having to do with your earlier situation and the decision, say, to explore your mental and creative abilities rather than to pursue the physical ones in the excellence of sports.

[...] The issue is obviously then clouded by current ones, so that different details in a day can contribute, or serve as triggers. [...]

[...] But all of your difficulties are based to one extent or another on self-rejection that has gone unquestioned. [...]

[...] The person acts in line with this belief in all ways; but also a variety of subsidiary beliefs grow up about the main one.

[...] This becomes one of the strong frameworks through which he views existence.

[...] Few people will have simply one main area of concentration. [...]

[...] With the greatest understanding and compassion, let me mention that Western medicine is in its way one of the most uncivilized hypnotic devices. [...]

[...] I wanted to make it clear that the self at any moment, while being no one thing, being indeed a series of simultaneous happenings, so to speak, is however far from meaningless, containing within it full inner comprehension of its various portions.

[...] However, the entity can be partially defined as the sum of all the selves within a given range of action, the simultaneous totality which on the one hand then cannot yet exist, since action can never complete itself, yet representing that impetus forever frustrated on the part of action for complete materialization.

(Many sessions have dealt with capsule comprehension, some of them being the 24th, 27th, 29th, 62nd-64th; the 87th and 131st particularly, as well as later ones.)

Again, this is no reason to feel that the individual is nothing, simply because he is one of so many. [...]

[...] This however was not the intent stare of the last session, but a more conversational and quiet one.)

[...] You yourself are learning to substitute good suggestions for bad ones, and it will help you further to keep this in mind.

[...] She used pauses less often and they were short ones. [...]

These cannot be recounted, again, in one evening; nor would such a performance serve any purpose at this time; listed, so to speak. [...]

The potentialities of human personality cannot be examined as one would crack open a nut to see what is inside. [...]

You have what you may think of then as a split action, where one portion of the self, the inner ego, is allowed to travel through the other states of action that compose the whole self, purposefully as a director, and retain the knowledge thereby received.

I have only one small point to make here before we have our appointment with Dr. Instream.

I am giving you a brief session because of our last long one.

[...] J U R I N I S (spelled out in a much stronger voice), S T A V O (also spelled, though quieter), one one five one eleven. [...]

[...] The ratio minus zero over one three seven, leaping back now to the other.

The patterns are superimposed one upon the other, and you must look behind the veil of integers and within their unsuspected values. [...]

[...] The one mentioned earlier. [...]

[...] In man’s very early history, however, and in your terms for centuries after the “awakening,” as described in our book, people lived in good health for much longer periods of time—and in certain cases they lived for several centuries.¹ No one had yet told them that this was impossible, for one thing. [...]

Tonight, Seth suggested that “portions of this session can be appended to the book,” meaning Dreams, but I found it easier to offer most of his generalized material verbatim while eliminating his information on one of my dreams.)

[...] But one has only to read Chapter 5 of Genesis to learn what great ages are given to Adam and nine of his descendants up to Noah, or the time of the Flood. [...]

[...] Also, a given father-son relationship may have actually been one between a father and a great-great-grandson, for example. [...]

[...] Incidentally, I rarely attend your little apartment unless in one way or another you ask me to, and tonight you were yelling my name from the rooftops, so to speak.

[...] It is often so one-sided. [...]

[...] For one thing we three have much in common. [...]

[...] I tried to reach out and envelop the feeling of the house and trees on each side of me, to sense them as if by touch as I passed each one by. [...]
